Chapter 43 Collision between East and West

King Yu Cheng looked out of the window and happened to see a ferocious-looking mob climbing over the wall into the palace.

"Walk!"

King Yu Cheng made a decisive decision and sneaked away through the secret passage of the palace with Hector and several guards.

After Yu Chengcheng captured the palace, he chose to surrender to the Han army under the leadership of the local nobles.

After Shangguan Jie entered the palace, he did not see King Yu Cheng and immediately interrogated the original guards in the palace.

At this time, King Yu Cheng had already led his guards out of Yu Cheng City and fled to Kang Juguo.

After Shangguan Jie learned the news and destination of King Yu Cheng's escape, he immediately led 700 cavalry in pursuit.

Unfortunately, when he discovered the traces of King Yucheng, King Yucheng had already fled into Kangju Kingdom like a rabbit.

"Captain, what should we do? Should we pursue him?" A military prince asked Shangguan Jie.

Shangguan Jie heard this and said: "I will never give up until I catch this thief!"

"promise!"

The Han army continued to penetrate deep into Kangju State to pursue the escaped King Yu Cheng.

At this time, the reinforcements sent by King Kangju happened to encounter the Han army led by Shangguan Jie.

Shangguan Jie didn't care when facing the large army of Kangju people, and directly asked the Kangju people to hand over King Yu Cheng.

Kangju State and Dayuan State have always been allies, so naturally they will not accept Shangguan Jie's request.

After the negotiation failed, the two sides formed a formation in the middle of the river valley.

Facing the superior strength of the Kangju people, the Han army showed no fear.

Under the command of Shangguan Jie, the Han army quickly formed a chariot formation.

This formation is the most commonly used formation by the Han cavalry. The troops are distributed into many columns, which is similar to the wall-mounting tactic, but the distance between the cavalry is longer.

The Kangju people on the opposite side are not to be outdone. They are different from the Dawan people. The Dawan people are actually mainly descendants of Greeks and Scythians.

Therefore, they have always relied mainly on Greek-style infantry, while the Kangju people have mainly relied on cavalry. The cavalry has always been their pride.

Alexander was defeated by their cavalry during his Eastern Expedition and had to turn south to invade India.

However, the Kangju people also received many influences from the Greeks, which can be seen from the Kangju people's military equipment and training.

The Kangju cavalry were mainly equipped with Greek-style leather armor and light copper helmets, and their weapons were mainly short swords. Although they had some bows and arrows, they were insignificant.

Seeing that Shangguan Jie actually commanded the Han cavalry to set up an attack formation, the people of Kangju disdained this. In their eyes, only their cavalry was the strongest.

The Kangju people's general also sent out his own cavalry.

Their war horses were obviously much taller than those of the Han army, and their number was twice that of the Han army.

"Let us teach these damn Han people what cavalry is!"

Kang Ju's army looked down upon the Han army, as if they could easily destroy the Han cavalry on the opposite side as long as they attacked.

"Second and Third Son, the time has come to kill the enemy and serve the country."

"The Han army is mighty.!"

Under the command of Shangguan Jie, the Han army formed a formation and slowly advanced towards the Kangju people.

"It seems that these Han people are already afraid and don't dare to charge at us!"

"Hahaha"

"Guys, charge! Kill all these sheep, and let's drink and eat meat together tonight!"

The Kangju people were different from the Han army. They did not consider the consumption of horsepower and directly chose to charge from a long distance.

When the distance between the two sides was about 300 steps, the Han army began to gradually accelerate.

The "rumbling" sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the sky.

This is how the first confrontation between Eastern cavalry and Western cavalry began!

When the two sides met, the speed of the Kangju people's horses had begun to slow down due to physical strength, but the speed of the Han army's horses had just reached its peak.

"boom!"

The two cavalrymen collided together like two waves, stirring up waves made of blood. Although it was beautiful, it represented death.

The nobles of Kangju Kingdom who were laughing in the distance could no longer laugh at all.

In their eyes, the Han cavalry, which could be easily defeated by them, seemed to turn into tigers descending one after another.

But in their view, their own cavalry, which was so mighty and mighty, turned into a lamb just waiting to be slaughtered.

"Ahhh."

There were screams one after another, and a noble knight from Kangju fell off his horse.

Their gorgeous armor and short swords were powerless against the heavy halberds of the Han army.

The two sides seemed to have become the prey and the hunter!

At this time, Kangju's cavalry were like yellow sheep on the grassland, being hunted down one by one by the Han army's cavalry.

"Devils. They are all devils"

The Kangju people's cavalry collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the confrontation between the two armies turned into a one-sided massacre in the blink of an eye.

The Han army pursued them until they reached the Kangju people's formation, and then stopped.

A Han knight named Tandi rushed to the Kangju people's formation and shouted: "How dare you fight!"

Under his intimidating momentum, everyone in Kangju actually took a step back.

Although the Han army won a great victory, there were still nearly 10,000 people in Kangju, so Shangguan Jie accepted the situation and quickly issued the order to retreat with gold.

After the cavalry battle, the two sides were stationed at both ends of the valley and faced off.

When King Kangju was considering whether to continue fighting with the Han army, a messenger brought news of the surrender of the Dawan people.

It turned out that the Han army had already captured the outer city of Guishan City, the capital of Dawan.

The Dawan nobles killed their king Wu Widow out of fear, and used Wu Widow's head and fine horses in exchange for the Han army's understanding.

Now the Dawan people have made Meicai their king and made an alliance with the Han army.

After receiving the news, King Kangju was worried that the main force of the Han army would turn to attack Kangju, so he had no choice but to hand over King Yu Cheng to Shangguan Jie.

After receiving King Yucheng, Shangguan Jie led his army back to Yucheng City.

Returning to Yucheng, Shangguan Jie ordered his younger brother to be responsible for escorting Yucheng to the general of the Second Division.

Tandi and others who were responsible for the escort felt that escorting King Yu Cheng was very difficult.

Several people discussed: "King Yu Cheng is hated by my big man. If he is sent alive, accidents are likely to happen on the way and cause serious problems. It is better to kill him directly."

Although several people reached a consensus, no one was willing to take action.

During this period, King Yu Cheng, who felt bad, begged several people for his life many times.

However, several people ignored him and remained in a stalemate for most of an hour. Finally, Tandei drew his sword and killed King Yu Cheng.

In the end, only the shriveled head of King Yu Cheng was delivered to the General of the Second Division.

After signing a city alliance with Dawan, Li Guangli did not stay long and quickly began to retreat back to his country.

After Shangguan Jie finished handling Yu Cheng's matter, he immediately retreated.

During the Battle of Dayuan, all countries in the Western Regions sent people to watch the battle. After this battle, the countries in the Western Regions finally realized the power of the empire and the Han army.

The countries in the Western Regions sent their sons to the Han Dynasty to pay tribute and serve as hostages. After this battle, the countries in the Western Regions no longer dared to attack the Han people openly.

During the Han-Hungarian War, most countries did not dare to send troops to assist the Huns in the war.

"Qianghan" became the unified name for the empire among the countries in the Western Regions.
